Chapter 687: Chapter 684: The Defeat of Yunshui City
The young man from the Human-Devouring Organization stared intently at Jiang Jichen. "Jiang Jichen, so it was you. I hadn’t even come looking for you, yet you’ve already taken the initiative to find me!"
"And how could you have possibly discovered my presence?"
Jiang Jichen chuckled coldly. "You’ve only cultivated a simplified, insignificant version of the *Creation Celestial Technique*. Did you really think you could blend into the shadows, completely undetectable by the world? How ignorant!"
"You... you actually know about the Longevity Sect and the *Creation Celestial Technique*? Who in the world are you?"
Hearing Jiang Jichen’s words, the youth from the Human-Devouring Organization’s face changed drastically. He stared at Jiang Jichen in disbelief.
"As for who I am, I’m afraid you won’t have the chance to find out."
Jiang Jichen replied coldly.
At the same time, Youu, Elder Yao, and the Asura Ancestor attacked simultaneously, surrounding him for the kill.
"You should know the consequences of making an enemy of my Human-Devouring Organization! The Longevity Sect holds sway over the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds and the Six Paths. Once the great worldly transformation is over, none of you will escape judgment."
"If you give up this hostility now, I might consider leaving you a path to survival in the future."
Surrounded, the youth from the Human-Devouring Organization saw the three of them charging at him and immediately tried to threaten them.
However, Youu, Elder Yao, and the Asura Ancestor were not people who could be threatened.
They were completely unmoved by the youth’s words, their movements not pausing for a second as they continued their lethal advance.
"You..."
Seeing that the three were utterly immune to his threats, the young man’s expression finally turned incredibly ugly.
At the same time, a look of panic and terror filled his eyes.
Just now, he had suffered a grievous injury from Youu’s sneak attack.
Now, facing three terrifying Supreme Realm cultivators, he was certain to be defeated.
But Youu, Elder Yao, and the Asura Ancestor were not kind or merciful people.
Before the youth could finish speaking, their attacks had arrived.
BOOM!
The great battle began.
But from start to finish, it was over in an instant.
Although the youth from the Human-Devouring Organization was also in the Supreme Realm, his individual combat power was only on par with Elder Yao’s.
Furthermore, he was already severely injured. With Youu and the Asura Ancestor joining the fray—two cultivators who specialized in slaughter and the Dao of Attack—the situation was terrifying.
Therefore, with a single exchange, the youth from the Human-Devouring Organization was blasted into a mist of blood.
His Nine Vein Spirit Infant shot out, attempting to flee.
Jiang Jichen had long been waiting on the periphery.
The Soul Refining Banner in his hand suddenly swept out.
WOO!
Gusts of ghostly wind howled incessantly.
A Nine Vein Spirit Infant was exceptionally powerful.
Without the Soul Refining Banner, not even a Great Saint could defeat a Nine Vein Spirit Infant.
This was the terrifying aspect of stepping into the Supreme Realm.
The Spirit Infant alone possessed astonishingly dreadful power and could not be easily destroyed.
Unfortunately for him, he had encountered the sinister Soul Refining Banner.
"Ah! How can this evil Soul Refining Banner be in the Mortal World, in your hands?"
Originally, after abandoning his physical body, the Supreme Realm youth from the Human-Devouring Organization had intended to use his Nine Vein Spirit Infant to destroy Jiang Jichen.
But he had never imagined that Jiang Jichen would produce such a terrifying Soul Refining Banner.
A look of terror and despair appeared on his face.
At the same time, he tried to turn and flee. ℯ
But in the next moment, the ghostly wind had already swept up and engulfed his Nine Vein Spirit Infant.
"Ahhh..."
The youth’s Nine Vein Spirit Infant let out a series of miserable shrieks.
Layers of flesh were continuously peeled from the Nine Vein Spirit Infant. In an instant, it had become a mangled mess of flesh and blood.
After the ghostly wind passed, it swayed unsteadily, trying to fly away again.
’Not dead?’
Jiang Jichen was amazed. The Nine Vein Spirit Infant was truly terrifyingly powerful.
Even the Soul Refining Banner couldn’t kill it in one go.
One had to know that even the seven-vein or eight-vein Spirit Infants of the Great Saint Realm would be instantly shattered if swept by the current Soul Refining Banner.
But the Nine Vein Spirit Infant had only lost a layer of flesh; it had not been shattered.
However, Jiang Jichen was well-prepared.
After the Soul Refining Banner, the One Corner of the Sky Killing Array immediately swept out.
PUFF!
Only then did the young man’s Nine Vein Spirit Infant finally explode and turn into a mist of blood.
Its soul floated out, only to be swept up by Jiang Jichen’s Soul Refining Banner and absorbed within.
At last, the young man from the Human-Devouring Organization had truly perished.
A Top-Level Storage Bag fell out from the Nine Vein Spirit Infant and landed in Jiang Jichen’s hand as well.
Upon reaching the Supreme Realm, a Nine Vein Spirit Infant could carve out an internal space within itself.
Therefore, cultivators at the Great Saint Realm and above basically kept their Storage Bags within the space inside their Spirit Infants.
Even if their physical bodies were destroyed, their Spirit Infants could still escape with all their belongings.
In fact, for most cultivators who reached the Great Saint Realm, their Spirit Infants could usually succeed in escaping.
It was only by the misfortune of encountering Jiang Jichen and his sinister Soul Refining Banner that there was basically no chance of escape.
Meanwhile, the great battle in the void above between the Celestial Corpse Ancestor and the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance had also reached its final moments.
The Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance roared, "The clouds and waters of Yunshui are boundless, but my sword can sunder the world!"
"Sword, come! Slay the enemy!"
Following the Alliance Leader’s roar, a Treasure Sword gleaming with a chilling light shot out from the depths of Yunshui City, piercing the clouds and breaking through the sky to strike at the Celestial Corpse Ancestor.
Over the Endless Void Battlefield, a beam of Sword Light descended as if from the Nine Heavens, its power terrifying to the extreme.
This was Yunshui City’s Cloud Water Sword, an ultimate killing blow.
The Celestial Corpse Ancestor’s expression also grew solemn, but he did not retreat.
Facing this sword, he roared, "Celestial Corpse Dharma Aspect, eternal and indestructible!"
Behind him, a golden corpse-like silhouette soared into the sky, pouncing toward the Cloud Water Sword.
The Celestial Corpse Ancestor cultivated the Corpse Dao. He had not yet recovered to the Celestial Corpse Realm, but by unleashing his full power, he could still summon the Celestial Corpse Dharma Aspect.
This was the most powerful attack he could unleash.
BOOM!
The Endless Void Battlefield was instantly filled and submerged by the Sword Light and the golden corpse-silhouette.
The ground trembled. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked up at the void, wondering what the final outcome would be.
After a long time, the Sword Light and the corpse-silhouette finally disappeared.
The Celestial Corpse Ancestor was covered in terrifying sword wounds, looking utterly battered.
The Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance and the four Supreme Realm elders behind him, however, appeared to be completely unscathed.
"Could it be... we won?!"
A cultivator from Yunshui City’s side suddenly shouted.
His voice was filled with joyful surprise.
However, before they could even cheer, the void above trembled once more.
The bodies of the Alliance Leader and the four Supreme Realm elders suddenly annihilated, turning into nothingness.
Only five Nine Vein Spirit Infants shot into the sky, transforming into five streams of Secret Light and disappearing into the void.
Clearly, the Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Sword Alliance had been defeated and had fled.
"This..."
This turn of events sent the budding cheers of the crowd plummeting straight to the depths of despair.
"Haha... So we were the ones who won!"
"The Celestial Corpses are invincible! The Ancestor is mighty! The unification of the Southern Continent happens today!"
"Charge!"
The Celestial Corpse Sect, in stark contrast, saw their despair instantly transform into fervent excitement. Their fighting spirit soared as they charged toward Yunshui City with overwhelming momentum.
